SemiPermeable Membrane Devices SPMD WHAT ARE SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE

Semi-Permeable Membrane Devices (SPMD) WHAT ARE SEMI-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE DEVICES (SPMDs)? SPMDs are passive sampling devices that simulate the adipose tissues of animals. They detect the potential of pollutants in the environment to bioaccumulate in living tissue, even at trace levels. WHAT CONTAMINANTS CAN BE DETECTED USING SPMDs? Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Polychlorinated dioxins and furans Organochlorine pesticides Pyrethroid insecticides Nonyl phenols Several herbicides and many industrial chemicals v Alkylated selenides v Others upon request v v v v Call for your quote today: 403 -776 -4443 www. paracellabs. com www. lifesciforensics. com

Benefits of Using SPMDs • Employable in all environmental conditions: hot and cold, turbid and stagnant • Employable in multiple matrices: air, soil/sediment, and water Are there trace levels of contaminants? Are the contaminants accumulating in the fauna? • Provides a time-weighted average of the contamination What rate are contaminants accumulating in fat tissues? • Allows detection of trace contaminants • Estimates exposure and bioconcentration potential of pollutants Contact us today: 403 -776 -4443 1423 45 th Ave NE, Unit F Calgary, AB, T 2 E 2 P 3 www. lifesciforensics. com / www. paracellabs. com What form are the contaminants in? What does long term exposure look like?
